hi,
at this age most common is diaper rash or nappy rash.
- you can apply ointment of Calamine on the affected area and all the area of skin that comes in contact with diaper before applying diaper.
-Avoid rubbing excessively while cleaning the affected area.
-Use soft wipes for cleaning rather than any rough cloth.
-If the rash is persistent, in spite of this ointment and if the rash spreads to different areas, visit a paediatrician for clinical examination .other probability that it could be dermatitis .this require special management.
